Product Details
Description
The 2022 Hautes Pistes Pinot Noir by Aubert et Mathieu is a fresh, elegant red from southern France. Grown in the hills of Languedoc-Roussillon, this Pinot Noir reflects the balance between warm sunshine and cool mountain air. Its bright ruby colour hints at the vibrant flavours inside.
On the nose, you’ll find juicy raspberries, red berry coulis, and a touch of violet. These aromas lead to a smooth, fruit-forward palate. Ripe red fruits take centre stage, followed by light sweetness and fine, tea-like tannins. Each sip feels soft and clean, with a gentle hint of spice at the end. This wine offers both charm and freshness, making it ideal for relaxed evenings or easy food pairings.
History and Winemaking
Aubert et Mathieu is a boutique winery based in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. Their focus is clear—make expressive wines that respect both land and grape. They use sustainable methods and let nature guide the process.
The grapes for this Pinot Noir come from higher-altitude vineyards. The cooler air helps preserve freshness and adds lift to the fruit. Fermentation happens in stainless steel to keep the wine crisp and lively. After that, the wine is gently aged to round out the tannins and bring extra texture. The result is a clean, modern Pinot Noir with depth and brightness in every glass.
